What in the fresh hell is this? I couldn’t even finish it. I thought it would be funny but my god.

I won't comment on the sexual and violent content this book has. Though I deem it excessive, it may be someone's cup of tea. But dear god, this book was not in any shape or form meant for me.

FIRST OF ALL, these people have no sense of boundaries. I don’t care what you do in the comfort of your own home. But these people are sharing this woman that they KIDNAPPED and they are all so freaking obsessed with her because…she’s not like other girls (shocking, I know). She’s not like other girls because she’s dumb by the way. But she just screws this band of brothers and they are like “yeah, cool”. 

Also, the pacing of this is so erratic. And by focusing on so many character POVs at once, you lose track, and shit gets blown up. There’s one character (I don’t even care if I’m spoiling it; it’s a bad book, you shouldn’t be reading it anyway) who spends the whole beginning part of the book hating her and how much he is attracted to her (classic) and then suddenly out of the blue, he’s like “I’ve fallen in love with her.” Why?! There’s no development. Just a bunch of dummies simping around for a woman (violently I might add) and killing randos in the process.

But it wasn’t the violence, the plot, the characters but the writing that got me to stop reading. I don’t like not finishing books. But with this writing, I had to. Here are some of my favorites, if you will…

ALSO, it occurred to me halfway through that these people are British. And it made it so much funnier. Just imagine all these but sounding like the Peaky Blinders lol.

“‘I think I’m in love. Do you think she would shoot me if I ask?’”

“The colour of her hair is the shade of ice…the colour of my soul.”

“I snarl as I rip off my shirt and storm to my bag, throwing some punches and getting all my aggression out. ”

“So I do the only thing a girl faced with losing a slice of cheesy heaven can do. I grab my fork and stab it into his hand.”

“It’s like one of those thirst trap images you see online that makes you go ‘dayummm.”

“‘You dare insult our princess?’”

“silky ass”

“‘How dare he? She’s mine!’”

And my personal favorite: “The sound of my mum’s screams with her moan which I swallow.”

This is a terrible book. The dialogue is cringey and bad. Roxy comes off as a deranged Harley Quinn. I don't like that she is the only girl who fights back, the only one who can get inside the mind of the vipers, all within like a week 🤨. It doesn't make sense, also she manages to take down the first set of dudes who came for her, which would not happen. I just don't understand how they fell in love her immediately, and she loves them back?! I guess I don't like this concept at all, like girl you were kidnapped and just beause the men are hot it makes it okay for some reason? I'm in confusion, she was turned on too fast for my liking (she shouldnt be turned on at all tbh 🤷‍♀️). This is such a wattpad story it's ridiculous, the plot is in the first 50 pages, a man sells his daughter to pay a debt, that's the story. The four guys aren't good people, straight up hypocrites. One dude says they only torture and kill rapists, murders, and generally bad people, buuuuut they are rapists, murders, and bad people. Literally the "nice one" rapes Roxy (which she denies cause she says she liked it). The stereotypes of the men are repititive and boring: leader, enforcer, bookie, and assassin. There is some borderline incest, having an orgy with your brother is crossing a line even though the brothers don't touch each other like that, but it's still gross.
To sum up the book: cock twitching and pussy clenching.

Look was this messed up? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes 🙈 I honestly really liked Roxy as a main character she made me laugh. I liked all the guys (Ryder was my least favorite, he bored me). I do wish there was a little more Kenzo and Garrett because I loved them. D was something he made me laugh though. I do have to say the writing wasn’t very good especially during Ryders pov which is maybe why I didn’t like him as much.

I didn't even want it in my read history. But I read it. So here it is. If you find that you must read this book it's best taken in reading out loud with a friend.
